commit c0e01d5d8f15c085236df184e5bc3d79a8b700cd upstream.

struct compat_ucontext * is a 64-bit pointer, so we need to use a
compat_uptr_t instead to avoid declaring a structure incompatible with
what AArch32 userspace expects.

The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which
means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since
glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs.

This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs
and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user
and kernel structure definitions.

There have been a number of new syscalls introduced to arch/arm/ since
the compat layer was implemented for arm64, so add pointers to the
relevant functions to the compat syscall table.

if_changed (used by the *.dts-&gt;*.dtc rule) rebuilds files if they aren't
contained in $(targets). (make V=2 indicates this). Add $(dtb-y) to
$(targets) to prevent *.dtb from always being rebuilt. Note

This fixes a regression introduced by the .dtb rule rework in da4cbc6
"arm64: use new common dtc rule", although since arm64 doesn't actually
have any *.dts yet, this isn't a critical issue.

This is mostly a port of dbf62d50067e ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b18 ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.

The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.

This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.

This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").

Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.
